Over all it was poor. When we checked in there several dead bugs around the apartment. Including a 4 inch centipede. The TV did not work. Tried with Jerry, property manger, to get it fixed. That did not happen. The apartment is quite rundown. The only redeeming quality of the place was the view. That was great. I wish I knew that there was no AC in the apartment.
Love this property!! The bathroom needs a face lift aling with a new toilet. But overall it's lovely.
Great view, comfortable bed, fantastic beach within walking distance, well equipped kitchen. There was a dead battery in the smoke detector and the toilet flush was quite weak but if that's the worst I can say about it, that's pretty good.
Ok, the unit is a bit dated and the ravages of time and the constant humidity has taken it's toll on the building, the appliances and interior finishes but it was clean and well equipped and everything worked. The location is fantastic and the views are incredible.
Beautiful place! Nice view of the sunrise. Quite and clean neighborhood.
I wish the owners would follow what the other reviewers are saying: change the bed, renew the place. It’s old, overused. So while you really enjoy the stunning views and the perfect location (north of Kauaii is our favorite part of the island), you can’t possibly ignore that this little condo is old and could be loved way more to help guests fully enjoying their stay.
The pool is good and very close (no sun shade though), maintenance guys are nice people (microwave was broken but fixed the same day. Dishwasher stayed broke for 2 days but it was july 4th so we understood that and the property manager was responsive). Limited kitchen tools. No little spoons and with a 4yo it’s not easy. No tea towels, you just eat on the glass of the table.
Enough clean but how much can you clean a place that is so outdated?
Thank God for beautiful views of the beach - the interior specifically the bedding left little to be desired. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable but the sunrise view from the bed makes up for it.
The kitchen sink wouldn’t drain. And the bathroom is about as basic as it gets - make sure you check the water temp before entering or you might get a surprise in either direction.
We loved the location and views - meets all your basic needs including beach chairs, towels, cooler and snorkel equipment.
Previous reviews are pretty accurate. Killer view.
So nice to have beach chairs and snorkel equipment! Very quiet and private. Dated furnishings. Bedspread and shams on Punai/day bed were not clean. Chair needs upholstery cleaned. Bedspread in master is insane. Bright gold crushed velvet!! Wow. Bed was comfortable but old dingy box spring on rusty old frame with no bedskirt. Garbage disposal didn't work the whole time which was a problem, since we were cooking. When you run dishwasher sink fills with gross water. Management super friendly and attentive so fixed every problem within their power quickly and effectively. All that said, it was a good spot. What I expected I guess.

The views alone make this place worth it!! You can tell the building itself is a bit outdated with older appliances, which is why I took off one star. The toilet took forever to flush and the shower drains very slowly. They do note it on the listing, but just be aware it can get very hot without an AC unit. We had fans running and all windows open. Overall, great views, great location, easy check in and out. Clear instructions! Host was very prompt with responding to our messages as well.
I’ve stayed four times in different Sealodge properties. As with all Sealodge properties, the view from E2 can’t be beat. It is simply fabulous. However, that can’t be said for E2 itself.
Like all Sealodge properties, E2 is a bit on the small size. This small size could be compensated by lovely interior decorating and consideration for the guest needs. The compensation is not forthcoming. The decor of E2 seems to never have progressed past 1999. The bedroom furniture and bedding was dated and shabby. So don’t expect a nicely furnished up to date condo.
However, far worse is the number of unsafe features. First the kitchen: One of the kitchen outlets totally “blew” when we plugged in the toaster, giving my husband a shock. The garbage disposal didn’t work, which meant the sink backed up with foul smelling food particles. The light over the stove didn’t work, making it hard to see what we were doing. The condo has four (yes 4) dinner plates. There is no cutting board. The frying pans were the cheapest lightweight aluminum pieces of junk imaginable
The bathroom. The shower had two temperatures, one was scalding and the other was freezing. My son discovered the scalding temperature firsthand. The toilet backs up easily too.
The bedroom. As crazy as it seems the window handle is very sharp on the bottom. My husband gouged himself on the handle and had to have stitches at the local Urgent Care.
The property did have nice lawn chairs and snorkel gear. Stay away.
